What the numbers say
In 2020, Niger's adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$) fell 47.8% on 2019 (from US$3.08 billion to US$1.61 billion).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2019), the average change was +26.5% and a typical year strayed about 60.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 232.3% in 1991 and the biggest yearly fall was 62% in 1993. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
